Train Crossings can Be Dangerous; Be Safe and Stop, Look and Listen in Kansas and Missouri

In Florida last week, a car stalled on a railroad crossing near Miami in Broward County. An approaching train was unable to stop and hit the car. Thankfully, the passengers of the vehicle were able to get out of the car and get to safety before the train hit. However, ten passengers were injured in the automobile-train collision and taken to a nearby hospital for treatment and observation.

Broward County deputies are investigating the crash, including trying to find out why the car stalled on the railroad track, causing the serious injury accident.

Our experienced Kansas City Personal Injury Attorneys want you to be safe while you're out driving and one of the trickiest thing to do is cross a train track. Not all crossings have marked signals and crossing arms to let you know when a train is coming. That's why it is important to:

• STOP
• LOOK
• and LISTEN
